Off-day question...

If Huerter + non-lotto pick(s) could get you Johnny Davis, would you do it?

I'd be lying if I said I knew who Johnny Davis was. Don't follow college bbal.

Rando college SG, considered a good prospect.

All I know is when WI played GT, he was decent but played more of a pf-type of role thats obviously not gonna translate to the league. I was not impressed.

Reminds me a little of Allan Houston at times. Some Devin Booker type skills in there, too.

I have no idea if it'll translate. He was playing like the best player in college before he got hurt.

He projects to be a high level starter in a few years. I'd definitely consider it.

But i have Bennedict Mathurin rated higher and Malaki Branham rated similarly to J Davis.

So I'd need to REALLY like Johnny Davis's fit with Trae long-term to trade for him over those other two...

[Jamaaliver]

I ask again, any interest in pursuing this kid this summer?

GS can't afford to keep everyone...

I want Johnny Davis but prefer to keep Huerter. He’s currently projected 9-11 range (still early) but I’d be willing to add Char pick on top of 16 to get him. I like his perimeter defense which hawks obviously need and he has a chance to be a plus offensively.‬

‪Would love Poole but I really doubt GS trades him this summer. ‬

Several months ago I said on the General Board that I expect Poole to receive max money. He's proven that he will now. I'd be all for pursuing him but Golden State needs to do what it takes to keep him.

Utah needs to find a #1 talent since they currently don't have one. Mitchell's not it if any of you believe he's a #1 option on a true championship caliber team. Rudy Gobert needs to be moved unless Mitchell is packaged for a true superstar talent but I doubt Utah does that.

Jordan Poole should be on the Jazz radar but they don't have the money to pursue him because they've written blank checks to highend role player talents to build around Mitchell.

I personally don't want Atlanta to take on Rudy Gobert due to his absurd contract.

Gobert just isn't worth the price it would take to upgrade defensively. Clint does a fine job for his cost, and quite frankly we probably only need to add a bigger body just for the guys Clint doesn't matchup well against. Clint's a better lob target considering his hands are pretty strong on the catch compared to Rudy. He even moves better.

If Gobert didn't have the length that he has, it'd be hard seeing him exist in the league still. I only say that as someone who would love to have Rudy currently, but not at his price tag. We really just need more capable defenders off the bench, and having a 4 in the lineup that can play defense like Clint, would probably be better for the starters over having Rudy.

Poole would be nice off the bench, but he's going to get paid by someone. Not sure if he's getting max dollars, but I think he's simply going to be out of our price range for a guy that's no more than a microwave scorer. A damn good one from the looks of it, but we already have Bogi and Kevin.

[atlantabbq99]

Gobert has the worst contract in the NBA, he is a role player but gets paid like a top 10 NBA player.

What we learned from the 2022 season is that Trae needs a defensive big like Cap more than he needs Collins or an offensive forward or offensive SG. Curry has Green, Butler has Bam, and CP3 has Ayton.

Mitchell Robinson, Hassan Whiteside, JaVale McGee, Nic Claxton, Andre Drummond, Mo Bamba, might be available this off season. Hawks need to grab one of the guys mentioned to help back up Cap or even take over. I really like Mitchell Robinson, i think Trae can make Mitch into the next Tyson Chandler, just like how CP3 saved Chandler's career with the Hornets.

I don't know what the market value of Anthony Davis is now but I would totally offer Collins and some draft picks for AD. AD has alot of problems but Cap and AD could be the defensive duo that Trae really needs.

2nd need on the list for the Hawks would be a backup PG for Trae. Jalen Brunson would be a great 6th man for the Hawks. Gary Payton would be a great backup PG or Tony Allen type of starter if ever given the opportunity to play behind or beside Trae.

[Jamaaliver]

We do need another star though. Would be such a waste of a great career if we didn't bring another player similar to or better than Trae.Many may not like it, but an in-shape Zion would be about as good of an aqcuisition as any out there that's available in within reach for us trade wise. That duo with a lot of good defenders around them would be lethal.

Zion would indeed be a worthy gamble.

I'd also consider other talented but damaged big men like Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons and Anthony Davis.

Gobert or Simmons could thrive with our stable of shooters and a playmaker as talented as Trae. (Gobert in particular could see his scoring double catching lobs from TY and getting offensive putbacks.)

Anthony Davis would just be a beast next to Okongwu. We'd need a reliable backup big man cause they both get injured frequently.

Simmons would indeed be perfect imo. Not sure what the Nets plan to do wit him. I assume they want him as long as he wants to be t here.

I'd consider AD as well. Gobert is just a no for me. We wouldn't really get more than what we already have other than his insane length on defense.

AD won a title with LAL just because they were less injured than other teams this year. You can expect 50 games from him, 60 games if you're lucky, and it will still leave a big problem.
Not to say he's a good defender, but I nerver believe he's a great one. When media talked about LeBron as MVP and Davis as DPY, it just made me smile as LeBron had far more impact on defense than Davis.
Davis had a bit more impact on offense than LeBron, but no way he was the best team defender of the team

I can understand if no one wants him. The guy is still one of the better talents in the league though.

[atlantabbq99]

^ If the Hawks can get AD and still keep Trae, Cap, Hunter, and Bogs, Hawks need to take it.

After the 2022 season, Hawks are in desperation territory now. The biggest home run move the Hawks can make right now is to get an elite post player that can go head to head with Giannis, Embiid, and Bam. AD's stock is low right now, but hopefully Trae can turn his career around.

[leo7]

If Hawks can't get AD, who would be the next best player that the Hawks can get? Maybe Randle if the Knicks want to move on?

Gobert?... Kawhi?... Durant?

But my vote would be for Mitch Robinson.
